Song of Songs - Chapter 3

	Sgs 3:1	" [fn]On my bed night after night I sought him Whom my soul loves; I sought him but did not find him.
	Sgs 3:2	' [fn]I must arise now and [fn]go about the city; In the streets and in the squares [fn]I must seek him whom my soul loves.' I sought him but did not find him.
	Sgs 3:3	"The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me, And I said, 'Have you seen him whom my soul loves?'
	Sgs 3:4	"Scarcely had I [fn]left them When I found him whom my soul loves; I held on to him and would not let him go Until I had brought him to my mother's house, And into the room of her who conceived me."
	Sgs 3:5	" [fn]I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the hinds of the field, That you will not arouse or awaken my love Until [fn]she pleases."
	Sgs 3:6	" [fn] [fn]What is this coming up from the wilderness Like columns of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all scented powders of the merchant?
	Sgs 3:7	"Behold, it is the traveling couch of Solomon; Sixty mighty men around it, Of the mighty men of Israel.
	Sgs 3:8	"All of them are wielders of the sword, Expert in war; Each man has his sword at his side, Guarding against the [fn]terrors of the night.
	Sgs 3:9	"King Solomon has made for himself a sedan chair From the timber of Lebanon.
	Sgs 3:10	"He made its posts of silver, Its [fn]back of gold And its seat of purple fabric, With its interior lovingly fitted out By the daughters of Jerusalem.
	Sgs 3:11	"Go forth, O daughters of Zion, And gaze on King Solomon with the [fn]crown With which his mother has crowned him On the day of his wedding, And on the day of his gladness of heart."
